Quote:Dude if Honda came out with a new R, everyone would buy it
There is not a single Honda automobile on the market (as of now, the last 50 years, or coming out soon) I would want to own, from a performance standpoint.
NSX - Congrats. For that money I could buy a Viper and be making some real power without sacrficing looks, the bling factor, or too much handling.
S2000 - Whoopee! A Honda Sports car. Amazing! And to actually get it to make some serious power all I have to do is tear apart the engine and build it back up, maybe get a little FI action going on. This is a very nice car to drive...not going to outperform much though.
Any Civic/Accord/Prelude/Integra/RSX. Nothing says performance like N/A, I4 or FF.
Please note I am talking about strictly being a performance platform. You can make any car competitive, but a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder front wheel drive car is at a huge disadvantage against the cars being put out by other manufacturers. The real reason Honda is popular is because most of the cars it makes are cost effective, (cheap to buy, cheap to insure, cheap to operate).
